Textual is a project I started in 2021 to build a TUI framework on top of Rich.

I did a Show HN back in August 21: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28106389

At the time, it was purely a hobby project, but a lot has happened since then. I was VC funded (nobody was more surprised than me) and since January, Textual has been my full-time gig.

This version adds a CSS renderer and more powerful layout engine, which enables some really interesting features such as live editing.

We've also added a websockets based console app for logging, which restores print style debugging when testing your TUI.

This release has documentation. Which you can find here:

Github repository:

https://github.com/Textualize/textual

Textual is still very much a work in progress, but it is way more stable now.

Textualize (the company) is currently 3 developers based in Edinburgh, Scotland. We recently hired dev no.3 and we have a fourth starting this year.
